    That Arwin that rocked the show!

    Hands down, this is one of the most hilarious episodes of Zack and Cody. Arwin is such a fine, comical actor who looks so natural and funny that he ruled this episode where he got the space. Arwin's mother leaves him and gets married and he is only left with his knick-knacks. Unable to handle the shock by his mater's sudden departure, Zack and Cody decide to invite him to their place. But then he gets up to their nerves. Meanwhile, London is red at Lance,, you know why.

    Arwin is so humorous in this episode and some of the gags of his were so hilarious that is laughed like mad. Zack and Cody too were funny for once. Carrie too was hilarious as the annoyed lady. London and Lance's side story too was funny in parts but a bit amateurish.

    The only part that I really found weak was the end. I mean, why to end the show that started well so idiotically. Still, it was excellent. 9 out of 10.

      [pointing down at her tail]

      London Tipton: See my tail? Look.

      [London gets up from her shell but falls into the treasure chest and screams]

      London Tipton: Ow, I fell on my booty!

      [London gets up and screams as she falls down on the floor]

      Lance: [picking London up] London! Are you okay?

      [pushing Lance aside and faces off against Wanda]

      London Tipton: Who're you calling "stringy-haired", you scaly-skinned freak?

      Nia: [folding her arms] Mmmm-hmmmm!

      Nia: [gasps and points] Oh, no, that's *cold*!

      London Tipton: [gasping and nodding her head] Oh, it's on!

      Wanda: [nodding her head] Bring it!

      [Wanda pulls London's hair back and London screams as Wanda pulls her on the couch]

      Wanda: [Wanda is on the couch, on top of London] Oh, yeah, Blowfish?

      [London gasps, then continues slapping Wanda then, they fall off the couch. London and Wanda face the wrong way, waving their hands around, slapping the air, then they turn around and slap each other and they end up wrestling on the floor]

      Lance: [to Nia, while watching London and Wanda fight] What do you think we should do?

      Nia: [Nia is taking pictures of the fight on her camera phone] I don't know about you, but I'm taking pictures for the Global Inquirer!

      [Nia snaps one more picture, then winces about the fight]
